Jap Broadcast Brings Word from Park County Young Man
A propaganda broadcast from Japan, intercepted by a government listening station, has given Mr. and Mrs. Paul Warfel of Clyde Park news of the welfare of their son, Cpl. Emmett Warfel, who has been a prisoner of war since the fall of Corregidor and Bataan.
The broadcast was recorded by the American station and a copy forwarded to the Clyde Park residents yesterday from the office of the provost marshal general in Washington, D. C. The telegram read:
"Following enemy propaganda broadcast from Japan has been intercepted: 'Dear dad and mother. I was very glad to receive your letter and package. I am well and getting along fine. Give my regards to George and Mildred and the others. I am very glad to hear that LeRoy is well. Give him my love. Mom, take care of yourself and LeRoy. With all my love and prayers. Emmett A. Warfel.' This broadcast supplements all previous reports."
George and Mildred mentioned in the broadcast are Cpl. Warfel's brother and sister-in-law. LeRoy is his five-year-old brother, who was only eight months old when the Clyde Park young man entered the armed forces.
A card received in August was the last previous word from the young man.

Before entering the service he was employed at the Harvat ranch.

Bullet Holes Mystery to Law Officers
BILLINGS (UPI) - A Billings area sheepherder hasn’t been stringing barbed wire around cattle ranches, but he’s still having ranch feud troubles.
LeRoy Warfel, 21, of Lovell, Wyo., appeared Thursday in downtown Billings with three spanking new bullet holes in the windshield of his pickup truck. The bullet holes are still a mystery to the lawmen in the area, but other difficulties were brought to light when Warfel was taken to justice court on a disturbance charge.
He was employed by Joe Cormier, a Billings area sheepman After a disagreement with Rick McGary, foreman of the R. B. Frazier Ranch, Warfel was fired.
Cormier told sheriff’s officers he wasn’t too disturbed when Warfel tried to run 1,500 head of sheep belonging to the Frazier outfit, off the Cormier ranch. It was the fact that Warfel allegedly was drinking at the time of the incident and got into a fracas with McGary.
Cormier told officials the drinking kept up and he eventually had to file a complaint. Warfel was fined $5 on the disturbance charge.
Sheriff’s deputies are still trying to find out what the bullet holes were doing in the truck. Warfel said they had nothing to do with his quarrel with McGary or his being fired.
